Victims of abuse are frequently portrayed in media as being tougher or more resilient as a result of their experience. That tends to be viewed in a negative light among people who work in domestic and sexual abuse response fields, because it creates a situation where characters essentially benefit from being abused. This is true of depictions of all trauma to a certain extent (Batman, for example) but receives more attention in sexual and domestic abuse because it's quite prevalent and often not reported.

Your friend may feel strongly about sexual abuse. They might even know someone with a history of sexual abuse. What seems like overreaction to you might actually be a lack of knowledge on your part.

Throwing popcorn on the floor is real mean though :( the poor ushers!
